Default alignment or no alignment.

so i know the old adage about getting your car aligned each time you play with the suspension but i lowered mines 3 spins of the coilovers after the most recent alignment. how much out of whack would lowering the car by 3 spins actually make.

if 3 spins makes a big deal i will go get it aligned again (for another $100) but if 3 spins is not that bad i will leave it. i am driving about 400 miles a week presently.

Just do it. not worth the headache of possible extra wear on tires. Or if you prefer, keep an eye on it for a month or so and see if you see any abnormal wear. You might as well just get it done though, because everything will be that much more perfectly matched to your new ride hight.

Do it if you plan to keep it at the current height for a long time. If you feel as if you want to adjust it again in a few weeks then it may not be worth it
